Inspired by the Origins of Staunton Chess

The Staunton chess pattern was first introduced in 1849 by Jaques of London, setting the global standard for competitive play. Today, Staunton designs remain the benchmark of quality and tradition in chess.

Our handcrafted chess sets pay homage to those original designs, recreating the elegance, proportions, and craftsmanship that made the Staunton style timeless. While not manufactured by Jaques, each set reflects the heritage of the original pieces and is crafted for modern players and collectors alike.
